Breast Augmentation
Achieving Your Ideal Silhouette
Enhance your natural curves and restore confidence by achieving the breast volume and shape that best complements your unique physical frame.
Breast augmentation remains one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for those looking to address naturally small breasts or volume loss after weight changes. We focus on a tailored approach, ensuring your results look harmonious and feel natural. This procedure allows you to reclaim your proportions and enjoy a more balanced, feminine aesthetic in any attire.
Selecting and Placing the Implant
The process begins with a detailed consultation to select the ideal implant type, size, and texture based on your anatomy and goals. During surgery, a discreet incision is made—typically in the inframammary fold or around the areola—to create a pocket for the implant. This pocket can be placed over or under the pectoral muscle.
Once the implant is carefully positioned, Dr. Capraro ensures symmetry and checks the projection from multiple angles to achieve the desired look. The incisions are then closed with internal sutures to minimize visible scarring. Over the following weeks, the implants "drop and fluff," settling into a soft, natural position that integrates with your body’s tissues.
Candidates for Volume Restoration
This surgery is ideal for women who feel their breasts are underdeveloped or have lost volume due to pregnancy, nursing, or significant weight loss. It is also a perfect solution for correcting breast asymmetry where one side differs in size. Candidates should be in good health and non-smokers.
If you are looking for a permanent way to improve how your clothes fit and increase your self-esteem, breast augmentation is a powerful choice. It is best suited for individuals with realistic expectations who desire a specific aesthetic change. We will evaluate your existing breast tissue and chest wall to recommend the best plan.
Advantages of Augmentation
Breast augmentation provides more than just a change in size; it reshapes the entire torso's appearance. By adding volume and projection, the waistline can appear more defined, creating a balanced hourglass figure that enhances your overall physical presence and personal style.
Provides a significant and lasting increase in breast size and overall fullness.
Corrects natural imbalances to create a more uniform and balanced chest appearance.
Allows for improved fit and confidence in swimwear and everyday clothing.
Replenishes fullness lost to aging or breastfeeding for a more youthful contour.
Offers a wide range of implant sizes and shapes for personalized surgical planning.
Delivers durable results associated with high patient satisfaction and improved body confidence.
Protecting Your New Profile
The recovery period is essential for allowing the implants to settle and the internal pockets to heal securely without excessive tension or movement.
- Wear the recommended surgical bra or soft supportive garment 24/7 as directed to keep the implants in place and minimize initial post-operative swelling.
- Sleep on your back with your upper body slightly elevated for the first two weeks to reduce pressure and help the implants settle naturally.
- Follow the specific implant massage techniques if prescribed by your surgeon to ensure the internal pockets remain soft and the implants move naturally.
- Do not lift anything heavier than five pounds or perform any strenuous upper body exercises for at least four to six weeks following surgery.
- Avoid sleeping on your stomach or side for the first month to prevent putting uneven pressure on the healing breast tissue and implants.
- Avoid submerged water, such as baths or pools, until your surgeon confirms that your incisions are completely closed and the skin has fully healed.
Any Questions?
Yes, it is one of the most studied and safest cosmetic surgeries performed today.
It adds volume, but if you have significant sagging, you will likely need a breast lift as well.
Usually in the fold under the breast (inframammary) or around the nipple (periareolar).
Augmentation adds volume and size. A Lift (Mastopexy) removes excess skin and repositions the nipple higher. Many patients require a combination of both to achieve their desired shape and fullness.
Most return to work in 1 week and can resume upper body exercise in 6 weeks.
Implants are not lifetime devices, but they often last 10–12 years before needing an update.
Modern silicone implants feel very natural, especially when placed beneath the pectoral muscle.
We use sizers and measurements of your chest wall to ensure the size is proportionate and safe for your frame.
Most women can still breastfeed, as the implants are typically placed behind the milk ducts.
How Lymphatic Drainage Supports Your Transformation
To ensure the most comfortable and efficient recovery, we offer specialized lymphatic drainage massage as a clinical add-on to your breast augmentation plan. This gentle, non-invasive technique stimulates the lymphatic system to flush out metabolic waste and the excess fluids that naturally accumulate in the chest wall and underarms following the placement of implants or fat grafts. By proactively managing the body’s inflammatory response, these sessions help to soften the breast tissue and prevent the buildup of stagnant fluid, leading to a smoother and more predictable healing journey.
Beyond mere comfort, lymphatic massage is a critical tool for refining your final surgical results. By significantly reducing post-operative swelling and bruising, this therapy allows your new breast volume to settle more quickly and naturally into its final position. It also promotes healthy circulation and improved skin texture, ensuring that your aesthetic outcome is as polished and refined as possible. Integrating this specialized care into your post-operative protocol provides a holistic path to both feeling and looking your best sooner.
The Clinical Benefits of Lymphatic Integration
Integrating lymphatic drainage into your breast augmentation recovery provides targeted support for your body’s natural inflammatory response. This clinical add-on accelerates the clearing of internal debris, ensuring a faster transition from post-operative swelling to final results.
Rapidly flushes out excess interstitial fluid to minimize chest wall bloating.
Accelerates the reabsorption of blood cells to clear skin discoloration faster.
Gentle stimulation calms the nervous system and reduces pressure-induced discomfort.
Prevents the formation of hard scar tissue around the implant pocket.
Allows the breast tissue to settle naturally into its new, fuller shape.
Assists the lymphatic system in removing cellular waste after volume enhancement procedures.
How Lymphatic Drainage Supports Your Transformation
Breast augmentation triggers a localized fluid response as the body adapts to new volume. Lymphatic drainage acts as a manual catalyst to move this fluid toward the axillary nodes, preventing the "tightness" that can slow your recovery.
- Gently reduces the feeling of "fullness" or pressure in the chest wall, making movement more comfortable.
- Focuses on the underarm area to prevent fluid stagnation near the implant or graft site.
- Helps both breasts de-swell at a similar rate, providing a clearer picture of your final symmetry earlier.
- By softening the surrounding tissue, lymphatic massage helps the area adapt to the presence of an implant.
- In fat transfer cases, reducing intense inflammation creates a healthier environment for the newly grafted cells.
- Reducing inflammation more quickly means you can see your surgical results and return to your routine sooner.
